Everybody, Provi-dance!

Downtown Providence is hosting a preview of what’s to come this year at one of the biggest music festivals in the state.

Sure, you can get a sneak peek at scheduled artists on the Sound Sessions Web site, but then you'd miss the carnivalesque dancers, saxophone players and drummers set to perform this afternoon.

The artists will join the Black Rep’s Executive Artistic Director Donald W. King and Providence Mayor David Cicilline to announce this year's lineup.

The week-long Sound Session festival brings artists and performers from around the world to downtown Providence for what’s billed as a “genre-defying” music festival, featuring performers from West Africa to the Caribbean to American Jazz and Funk.

This year’s festival is set to run from July 6 to July 12.

The line-up announcement is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. today at 276 Westminster Street.
